[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]George, My main films are slide films: I prefer Kodak EPR (Ektachrome Professional 64 daylight) for outside work whenever there is sun around. EPR is also fine for flash protography. In rainy conditions, after sunset etc. (where EPR turns _blue_) I use Agfa RSX 200. Inside churches, in the evening, also in the morning before the sun is really up and shining : Kodachrome 200 Professional (you pay a lot more for the word "Professional", but it's worth the whole lot of money). Kodak Ektachrome Professional 64T and 320T if tungsten film type is necessary. Especielly the 64T (EPY?) is a great film. If I have to use CN film: Kodak Vericolor III prof. for weddings and other inside/mixed/flash type of situations ,and outside and inside the new generation of Fuji professional material (160 ASA NPS - hope to remember the shortcut correctly - and 400 ASA NPH, which came after the legendary NHG). All of the above works pretty well in Leica R and M cameras. All of the above requires careful, skilled development (I send my films to an expensive but skilled specialized professional lab ...) I got _big_ pictures using roll film (120 / 220) NHG (400 Fuji) in my Pentax 6x7 at fairs _without_ flash on monopod (thus retaining the original light situation). Hope this helps ...
